Bread without butter or coffee without milk is an awful calamity, as if everything before being put in our mouth must first be held under a cow.

The power of imagination makes us infinite.

As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

The grand show is eternal It is always sunrise somewhere

I’d rather be in the mountains thinking of God, than in church thinking about the mountains.

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.

I meditateSo that I can inundateMy entire beingWith the omnipotent power of peace.

A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.

Religion is nothing but a science to attain wisdom, understanding, to know what life is, and to live it in utter celebration.

If I'm going to show cleavage or chest then I don't show leg. I show one thing. If I show leg then everything else is covered up.

To commiserate is sometimes more than to give, for money is external to a man's self, but he who bestows compassion communicates his own soul.

I'm not going to doubt my life.
